2016 Honda Civic

HIGH BRAKELIGHT COVER WILL NOT REMAIN ATTACHED TO REAR WINDOW AND HANGS DOWN. THE VELCRO ATTACHING STRIPS PULL AWAY FROM THE GLASS IN HOT WEATHER. THE RESULT IS THAT REARWARD VISION IS REDUCED, AND AT NIGHT, APPLYING THE BRAKES WILL LIGHT UP THE ENTIRE REAR GLASS OBSTRUCTING OUTWARD VISION WHETHER VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEAT WILL HAVE THE PLASTIC COVER HIT THEIR HEADS.

WE BOUGHT THIS CARE BRAND NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER FROM A HONDA DEALER. TWO WEEKS LATER WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM SCHOOL AT AN INTERSECTION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD , ENGINE WENT FROM 15MPH TO 6MPH TO ZERO. ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. LATER I FOUND OUT THAT THIS MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A PROBLEM WITH A PISTON RING . HONDA SERVICE IS TELLING US THE A NEW ENGINE WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE CAR, DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO , NONE OF US IN OUR FAMILY FEELS SAFE ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR , BECAUSE IF SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH AND THIS HAPPENED, IT WOULD BE A DISASTROUS SITUATION AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANT CAME AN TOWED THE CAR TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT . THIS CAR HAS 320 MILES ON IT.

THE REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME UNDONE, IT BOUNCES AROUND AND OBSTRUCTS THE REAR VIEW. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN HOW SUCH A SMALL PART COULD BLOCK THE VIEW UNLESS YOU ENCOUNTER THIS FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SLIGHT DOWN GRADE WHERE IT CAN OBSTRUCT THE ENTIRE HIGHWAY BEHIND YOU. ONCE AGAIN, HARD TO EXPLAIN UNLESS YOU LIVE IN A HILLY AREA AND EXPERIENCE THIS. DURING THE NIGHT THE REAR WINDOW IS FLOODED WITH RED LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS AN ENTIRE WEBSITE RELATED TO JUST THIS ISSUE. 7/26/2016 - JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DEALER WHERE THEY "FIXED IT WITH ANOTHER PART" - THIS DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER BEFORE IT WAS BOUNCING AROUND AGAIN - AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS CORRECTLY WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED PART.

DAILY MAYBE A FEW TIMES A DAY WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE CAR HESITATES FOR 1-3 SECONDS BEFORE THE THROTTLE RESPONDS. THIS IS POSSIBLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF PULLING AWAY WHEN THERE IS A LIMITED OPENING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I'M WONDERING IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AS MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC WITH CVT ALSO HAD THIS ISSUE FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS DAILY AND USUALLY IN THE MORNING ON A LEFT TURN ABOUT 3/4 MILE FROM MY HOME. USUALLY AT THE SAME CORNER DAILY IN THE MORNING BUT IT DOES HAPPEN AT OTHER TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND I THINK IT MAY BE MORE COMMON NOT LONG AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE AFTER HAVING BEEN SITTING FOR A BIT. I LOVE HONDA'S AND HAVE HAD MANY OF THEM BUT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND RESOLVED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE TIRES ST140 (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 215/50/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR STRUCK A TREE AND FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,343.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE REAR INTERIOR BRAKE LIGHT COVER DETACHED AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COVER NEEDED TO BE RE-ATTACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CERTAIN HONDA CIVIC'S HAVE APPLE'S CARPLAY INSTALLED, THROUGH THE IOS IPHONE MOBILE PHONE PLATFORM. WHEN ENABLED, OR PLUGGED INTO THE CAR, NAVIGATION SUPPORT PROVIDED BY APPLE'S MAPS APPLICATION GOES INTO 'DAY MODE' WHILE AT NIGHT. THIS CREATES A HUGE AMOUNT OF BRIGHTNESS IN THE CAR AND BLINDS THE DRIVER WITH BRIGHTNESS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN EASILY SEE HOW ACCIDENTS CAN BE TRIGGERED DUE TO BLINDING INTERIOR LIGHT DUE TO THE APPLE MAPS (THROUGH CARPLAY) NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ERROR, OR POOR DESIGN BY APPLE/HONDA. I BELIEVE THAT CARPLAY'S NAVIGATION FUNCTION IS A DANGER TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BECAUSE HAVING HUGE AMOUNTS OF SUDDEN BRIGHTNESS CAUSES DISTRACTION AND MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH VISION.
